Along with being the NCAA leader in goals Frattin has been adding a number of game winning goals to his resume.

The senior right wing scored his sixth game-winning goal of the season 5:11 into the second overtime period of the WCHA Final Five championship game Saturday. The night before, Frattin scored with 5:40 to go with the score tied at 3, but it took only a day to put the memory of Friday’s goal on the back burner.

The biggest thing for North Dakota is that they won the tournament without their second leading scorer:

Frattin worked overtime both nights to make up for the absence of forward Jason Gregoire. Frattin scored the game winner both nights — his 34th and 35th of the season, respectively — en route to being named the Final Five's most valuable player. He also added an assist on the weekend.

Obviously, there are some caveats to take into account with Matt Frattin's big year: He's a senior which provides an advantage, he plays on a really strong North Dakota team, and he could become a free agent on August 15th. Hopefully, last year's offer of a professional contract by the Maple Leafs will help them when it comes time to sign Frattin. In the meantime, here's hoping his great year continues in the NCAA tournament.

Burke needs to make a push to sign Frattin. If doesn't, there will probably be a nice line of teams waiting on August 15th. At worst, he plays for the Marlies, but the potential for more is too great to ignore.
